Look, your daughter doesn’t say she’s a demon. She says she’s the devil himself.

MONOPOLIES SUCK is a title I wish I'd thought of - talk about "does what it says on the tin!"

It's by @Sally_Hubbard, Director of Enforcement Strategy at @openmarkets and retired antitrust enforcer for the NY Attorney General.

It's great.

Hubbard's got deep experience, and she brings the same kind of verve to this book that Zephyr Teachout delivered in her (also excellent) (and also brilliantly titled) BREAK 'EM UP:

pluralistic.net/2020/07/29/bre…

But Hubbard's got another thing going for her: institutional support. The Open Markets Institute operates a range of advocacy programs for angry members of the public (e.g. you), and each of Hubbard's chapters ends on ways you can engage in the policy questions she raises.

I LOVE a ferris wheel and I am here to say that the ferris wheel's moment has arrived.

Two weeks ago, I cheered as Japan's Yomiuriland theme park started renting its ferris wheels as socially distanced work-pods:

And now I'm delighted to see that the Budapest Eye, a monumental ferris wheel with astounding views was turned into a pop-up one-night dining room by a fancy Hungarian restaurant:

Costes, a Michelin starred restaurant, set out a four-course prix fixe meal for diners and, judging from this video, served a different course with each revolution of the wheel:

Neoliberalism's starting gun went off on 1973, when a US- and UK-backed fascist military deposed Salvador Allende, the incredibly popular, democratically elected president of Chile.

1/ Image
The coup embodied Peter Thiel's summation of the libertarian principle that "Democracy is incompatible with liberty," where "liberty" means the freedom of the 1% to amass unlimited wealth at the expense of the starving, brutalized 99%.

2/
The new dictator, Augusto Pinochet, was feted by Anglo-American right wing figures, including the elite of the Chicago School of Economics and their cult leader, Friedrich Hayek, who traveled to Chile to oversee a program of torture and murder as Pinochet consolidated power.
